Just bought a gift subscription for 1 month to Hulu+ to try out. Used the ps3 app to watch it on the tv in the living room and it is awesome. Will test the xbox app some other time but my xbox live sub runs out in January and I won't bother to renew unless the apps run much better on it than the ps3. But so far I've used the H+, NHL gamecenter and Netflix apps on the ps3 and it has worked perfectly. Last year the gamecenter app wasn't very smooth but after watching the Flames/NJ game it worked great. Guess I don't need a Chromecast. But it would be nice to have one.
